Central Asian female based in EU, very global profile. Strong essays (reviewed by a top consultant) and strong recommendations from a client and a partner. WE is very strong: direct work with C-level at global companies, one rec. written by a client, multiple promotions in 4 years.
Curious why rejected. Suspect lack of pedigree (mid European schools but nothing standout), non-traditional WE (boutique firms), an okay-ish GRE.
Post-MBA goal: MBB, then PE Ops in frontier markets — fits my background and story of working in a frontier markets.
